Experience 50, a listener-supported podcast

November 30, 2016

Dear listeners, readers, followers:

I have always been an open book type of person. So, here goes:

As The Experience 50 Podcast has grown from about 30 friends and family listening to over 30,000 across the globe, I have learned a great many things. I need to confess something to you. I wildly overestimated my revenue projections from sponsorships. I need to change course, at least until I have millions of listeners.

I am removing all current sponsorships from the show and website. Instead, I am now a completely independent podcaster, financially supported by my followers with small monthly donations. Think Kickstarter meets PBS pledge drive.

To learn more about the Patreon program I have joined and the rewards available at various levels (see a sample below), I invite you to CLICK HERE.

This is completely voluntary and the twice-weekly podcast will always remain free of charge. There will be exclusive additional content for Patrons that will vary by donation level.

This feels awkward for me, maybe you too? Please consider becoming my Patron, I would be so very grateful. Donations are billed on the first of each month and can be cancelled at any time. If you wish to make a one-time donation, great! Just sign up and cancel after 30 days.

The Experience 50 Podcast is a Mary Rogers Production, supported by the generous donations of midlifers around the globe. A Patreon Partner.
